I ordered the scissorhands to speed up. Thunder roared in the dark clouds. The sky was getting darker and darker, the wind was howling, and only the terrifying lightning flashed across the clouds, illuminating the city for a moment.
We must return to the camp as soon as possible. There may be a storm tonight. If we are slowly driving on the river, if we encounter a storm, the possibility of capsizing is very high, especially in this place where the weather changes violently and abnormally, and is completely unpredictable.
.
From that day on, the weather in the entire world became abnormal. The power of nature is not something that humans can easily contend with. The best option is to avoid the edge temporarily.
"Hurry up Scissorhands, I don't want to fall into the river to feed the fish tonight. God knows what kind of mutated fish have become in this world!"
"It's already the fastest speed, captain. The waves are very big now. If we drive faster, we don't have to wait until tonight. The boat will capsize and take a bath in the river now!"
The ship was swaying forward in the wind and waves, and the cold wind blew against the face without stopping, and it could be felt that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, but what Scissorhand said was right, it could only be like this for the time being.
But if possible, I really want to take the risk and drive a little faster, because... I get seasick.
Especially a boat that shakes violently.
But these are not important anymore. What is important is that this operation is finally coming to an end.
Whether it's the research institute on the small island in the river or the mutant monsters in the research institute.
It's all over.
Yes, that's right. All that's left is to take Casey and Dr. Kenna back to the camp. We walked that stretch of road and there shouldn't be any danger. But why...
The uneasiness in my heart has not dissipated.
Maybe this is the real reason why I am anxious to move forward.
What on earth, what is bothering me, what is this uneasy feeling that the crisis should have been resolved by now.
Is it because of the oppressive weather before this storm?
I looked back at the cabin. Dr. Casey and Dr. Kena were studying the information obtained from the research institute on the island. Their expressions were very focused, and the rocking of the ship did not affect their work.
"Captain, you don't look well. Are you seasick again?"
The person who spoke to me was Nushi. As one of the team members who had been following me from the beginning, he naturally knew that I would get seasick.
"Absolutely. You look the same, your face is not much better, your brows are almost knitted together."
That's right, just like what was said, Stubborn's expression did not relax after the battle with the monster was over. This guy with a strong sense of crisis also sensed that something was wrong.
"Ah, I have a bad feeling. Just like before, it doesn't make me happy at all."
Nushi knows himself very well. He once told me that sometimes he hopes that his bad premonitions will be wrong.
"It's the same for me. There's nothing unusual and no danger in sight, but I still feel uneasy. Maybe it's because the environment and weather are already depressing."
Continuing to think wildly is not an option. At present, the only option is to proceed according to the original plan. Returning to the camp is now the primary goal.
"...Maybe, but wild animals will predict the coming of a storm in advance and their actions will change. What would happen if it was this city that was almost assimilated into the forest..."
Nushi started talking to himself. I couldn't understand the meaning of his words, but I always felt that he wasn't talking about anything good.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the dark clouds are getting thicker. Lightning and thunder are roaring in the distance in the sky. From here, you can see various birds flying up and scattering in the distance of the city and forest.
I don’t know what happened, but it’s too far over there, so it shouldn’t be involved here.
The increasingly dim environment forces us to turn on all the lights in order to illuminate the surroundings and the front, so that we can continue to move forward.
Although this may attract those dangerous creatures, we have no choice but to do it. When the navigator is interfered with and cannot work, and there are strong winds and waves on the river, going forward in the dark is simply asking for death.
Although there were bad weather conditions such as storm clouds, it was too early for it to get dark.
Uneasy and silent, the ship continued to move forward against the wind and waves. Unexpectedly, the voyage ended without incident.
The ship slowly docked and we landed in the city again, not very far from our previous departure point.
"The storm is coming. Let's move quickly. There is still some way to go. Dr. Casey and Dr. Kena, you'd better hurry up. I don't think you want to get your clothes wet. If you encounter it in a place like this,
A storm is more than just getting your clothes wet."
Due to strong winds and waves, the ship's return trip deviated from its original route. We parked the car there. If we want to go back, we have to find a car. And if there is a storm, the action plan will be suspended and we will have to stop here.
Take shelter from the storm on the river bank away from the camp.
However, after our battle with the mutant monsters in the research institute, we were running low on ammunition, and Stubborn Stone lost his machine gun directly.
If we are attacked by other mutant creatures, we won't be able to survive for long.
"Action, action! Let's go back to camp and have a barbecue to celebrate!"
At this time, we can't just bring bad news, there must be something to boost morale.
"Oh! That's great! That's how captain should be!"
Tank laughed happily. This guy likes to eat meat the most, especially barbecue. There is a reason why he is so strong.
"Although I prefer stew, grilled meat is also good."
Eagle Eye also laughed. He had just experienced a life and death crisis, so he should find an opportunity to comfort himself.
After returning to Luoan Central City, I can take the time to treat the guests to another meal. It’s really hard work for them.
"I want to eat too!"
"Sister, be careful to eat too much and gain weight."
"It doesn't matter! It's not like you don't know that I won't gain weight no matter how much I eat. It's you who should be worried, Kena."
Dr. Casey also seems to like barbecue, and she has a physique that is not easy to gain weight. However, her sister, Dr. Kena, seems to be just the opposite. She has a sad face, probably because she wants to eat but has to think about it.
Need to lose weight again.
We quickened our pace and left the river bank, walking through the houses and alleys, and finally came to the main road. We probably still remembered the direction of the parked vehicle. As long as we walked along the road, we would reach our destination in no time.
The thunder is getting closer and closer, the strong wind is howling, picking up garbage, newspapers and other debris on the street. The trees are swaying crazily under the pull of the strong wind, the infusion is making a gurgling sound, and a large number of fallen leaves are being swept up into the sky.
"There, we saw our car!"
We are on the right route, our car is right there, and we will be able to return to the campground to rest in no time.
There are many other brothers in the camp, so it will definitely be much safer than resting outside.
